I had a glass of red wine the other night...

and I thought...

If you can't spell "connoisseur"...

you have to say you're a wino.

The End of the Internet?

Bad news for users of the internet if this story comes true. Read of plans of increased data collection of your surfing habits and large fees for internet usage! If it comes to this I will not be on the internet unless absolutely needed.

EyeToy: Kinetic for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 EyeToy: Kinetic Review

Got this for my birthday this week. way cool. I'll give it an 8 out of 10. It's an exercise program for the Playstation2 that uses the Eyetoy. Also good is Antigrav, which I've had for a while. Antigrav's more a game than an exercise program but you still get a good workout with it.

Interesting. Scary, but interesting.
Runs contrary to concepts like liberty, freedom, privacy...ya know, those concepts that I like to think of as American qualities.

Don't have a Shiite Fit!

In Beirut, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah urged Muslims worldwide to keep demonstrating until there is an apology over the drawings and Europe passes laws forbidding insults to the prophet.

The head of the guerrilla group, which is backed by Iran and Syria, spoke before a mass Ashoura procession. Whipping up the crowds on the most solemn day for Shiites worldwide, Nasrallah declared:

"Defending the prophet should continue all over the world. Let Condoleeza Rice and Bush and all the tyrants shut up. We are an Islamic nation that cannot tolerate, be silent or be lax when they insult our prophet and sanctities."

response 1:

Okay I am sure that these cartoons were deemed more than simply inappropriate in the Muslim world, but the fact that other nations have different cultures and presses with rights to free speech is a fact that they need to understand. To expect laws to be passed in other nations as they request is absurd. This cartoon stuff is getting ridiculous.

response 2:

"Blah blah bla-blah blah. Blahbla blah blah blah bla-blah. Blah blah blah bl-bl-bla-blah Blahblah. Blah blah blablah, blah....blah blah. Blah blah blablah blah titties."


What??! What he say? I stopped paying attention.

You should have seen my face after the Greased Lightning at Hershey Park!

Okay, so the title's a bit misleading, you'll understand once you read further. About a week or so ago I had a physical and being a male I had to have "that test", ya know...the one where you have to bend over and grit your teeth. Well I mentioned to the doctor that he really should install one of those automatic cameras 'right there' where it can take a picture of the patient's face just at the right moment. Then when the patient is leaving, he can stop by the nurses' station where a picture would be available for purchase. Just like at an amusement park on a roller coaster! I doubt that certain doctors would acquire "nicknames" like Greased Lightning or The Hangnail, but it would add a sense of thrill and accomplishment to the photograph. Don't you think.

Okay...not the greatest post, but it was better than all of my posts from January! And as tomorrow I turn 29 again, thoughts of getting older are definitely on my mind.
